“It’s wonderful to be able to recognise the Everyday Heroes who are saving lives and encouraging others to do the same, and I hope they inspire others to learn first aid so they, too, can be the difference between life and death.

“We can’t wait to welcome these deserving nominees on the evening and show our appreciation for their selfless efforts.”

The YEP has teamed up with St John Ambulance as part of our First Aid For All campaign to recruit an army of lifesavers.

Our campaign aims to teach basic first aid skills to 500 readers to help them cope with emergency situations.

The YEP revealed over half of parents in Leeds lack the basic first aid skills to save their children’s lives.

The three-hour discounted sessions will see people learn a range of skills including how to administer CPR.

St John Ambulance are offering a three hour course at a discounted rate of £20 for YEP readers.
